Yield Makes 4 drinks

Number Of Ingredients 16

For the coffee jelly:
1 (1/4-ounce) envelope powdered unflavored gelatin (about 1 tablespoon)
2 cups freshly brewed hot coffee
3 tablespoons sugar
For the whipped cream:
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the frozen iced coffee:
1 1/2 cups cooled coffee
1/4 cup chocolate syrup
1/4 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Special Equipment:
Bubble tea or other wide straws

Steps:

Make the coffee jelly:
Dissolve gelatin in 3 Tbsp. cool water in a small bowl. Let stand until bloomed, about 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine hot coffee and sugar in a loaf pan or large resealable container. Gently stir gelatin mixture into coffee until combined (do not stir too vigorously or air bubbles will appear). Chill until firm, about 2 hours.
Make the whipped cream:
Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed or a whisk, whip cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Add sugar and vanilla and whip to medium peaks.
Make the frozen iced coffee:
Blend coffee, syrup, cream, sugar, vanilla, and 3 cups ice in a blender until smooth.
Assemble the drink:
Cut coffee jelly into 3/4" cubes. Fill 4 tall glasses with 1/2 cup cubed coffee jelly each. Spoon 3 Tbsp. whipped cream over each and spread to create a solid layer of cream. Divide frozen iced coffee (about 1 cup each) among glasses on top of cream layer. Top with more whipped cream and serve immediately with bubble tea straws.
